I could not be more proud to be recognized among these global leaders,” said Mark R. Anderson, CEO of Pattern Computer.
Additional winners of 2021 AJN Awards include:
- Bill Gates: Science Stewardship Certificate of Commendation – for contributions in international health pandemics
- Dr. Anthony Fauci: Science Communication Certificate of Commendation – for national leadership in the COVID-19 pandemic
- Dr. Vin Gupta: Science Awareness – for national leadership in educating the public on health best practices during the COVID-19 pandemic
- Dr. Katalin Karikó & Dr. Drew Weissman: Science Impact – for fundamental contributions that led to Messenger RNA vaccines
- Dr. Amanda Randles & Muath Bishawi – for contributions that led to the development of the split ventilator prototype
- Marian Croak & Eric Yuan: Science & Society – for innovations in communications technologies during the COVID-19 pandemic
The AJN Awards honor efforts of individuals to communicate complex topics in innovative, engaging ways to stimulate higher awareness of scientific issues in the general populace -particularly in young adults. Janie Noble, a Stanford graduate and prolific writer, envisioned a new type of “epiphany” awards that embraced her vision of scientific discovery and contribution focusing on two aspects:
- The AJN Awards should be a “Fun” set of recognitions that should become sustaining, building recognition over time.
- The AJN Awards should be about conveying the excitement and thrill of science to non-technical audiences, especially with young women.
The AJN awards have three specific goals:
- Celebrate successful ‘epiphany’ science and its creators
- Stimulate students, especially young women, to enter scientific careers
- Support better expository writing and documentaries about ‘great science’
